At our Breakfast Meeting on October 16th our President, Ellen Roth, spoke about club Goal Setting.
President Roth outlined the various categories Rotary establishes for achieving a Rotary Citation or a Rotary Citation with Presidential Distinction.
To receive a Rotary Presidential Citation the Club must achieve the following:
1. Support and Strengthen the Club (achieve at least 3 of the following)
* achieve a net gain in membership
* maintain or improve the Club's retention of current and new members
* achieve a net gain in female membership
* have at least 60% of Club members report their birth date through My Rotary
